2024 Family-To-Family Program

Each year during the holiday season, the Jane/Finch Centre hosts the Family-to-Family Program (formerly the Adopt-A-Family Program), giving donors the chance to support a family in the Jane-Finch community. Donors are matched with a family in Northwest Toronto and provide essential items such as gift cards, toiletries, household goods, children's gifts, winter clothing, and more. The program is open to both individual donors and corporate sponsors, offering a meaningful way to provide tangible support during the holiday season.

HOW IT WORKS

Register yourself, your family, or your team to become a sponsor in the Family-to-Family Program. There are three ways to support a family:

  1. Family Shopper Program: Sponsors receive information to shop for their matched family and deliver the gifts to the Jane/Finch Centre. We will arrange pick-ups with the families. Please ensure all items are new, with gift receipts if possible.

  2. Gift Card Sponsorship: Perfect for those who want to participate but lack the time to shop. This option allows parents to personally shop for their children.

  3. Financial Sponsorship: Sponsors make a financial donation, and our volunteers will shop for the family on their behalf, using the donated funds.

Family Sizes and Costs

Participants can choose a family size that aligns with their capacity to support. Below is an approximate cost guide based on family size:

  • Small family: 1-3 members ($350-$450 minimum)

  • Medium family: 4-5 members ($450-$750 minimum)

  • Large family: 6+ members ($750-$1,000 minimum)

All donations over $25 are eligible for a tax receipt. Register to become a donor by clicking on the button below.

Unable to Participate but still want to support? Consider making a donation.

Even if you’re unable to join the Family-to-Family program this holiday season, your support is still vital. Additional funds raised will help us extend support to more families in our community.
